I like Windows ME. It certainly has it's disadvantages but so does 98SE. For one, ME has more in-build drivers (including SB Live!), in-build support for ZIP files, USB mass storage (yes, I'm still naming it 😉 )so easier to move drivers from a USB stick onto it so I can finish the build (with 98SE I'll need to install some universal USB driver first, more work).
I can also remember that ME lost many of the annoyances and bugs that 98SE and before had. It's been a couple years since I last used 98SE but I remember clearly finding 98SE annoying to use (and it's more ugly too 🤣, looks just like Windows 95).
ME does require some tweaking (disabling PC Health, amongst a few other things) but 98SE often includes having to install more drivers which imo evens that out.
Support for games is a bit different though. Theres games that work on 98SE and not on ME and vice versa. Same goes for some versions of some particular programs.
One thing I do not like about ME is it's tendancy to sort pictograms in rows wider then the size of the window, so I'll either need to maximize the current window or need to scroll a lot (bleh).
Also when pasting a large number of files somewhere, it tends to sort them in a large single row from the top left to the bottom right (iirc overlapping eachother), another annoying thing about ME.
I do remember liking the configuration menu thingy more then that of 98SE.
There was once a patch for ME made (the unofficial service pack). There were 2 versions for it (SP1 and SP2) though I've never gotten hold of SP2 because of a broken link. There isn't a Dutch version of that SP though but it fixes some known bugs of ME along with a couple standard tweaks.
Also ME boots up REALLY FAST compared to any other version of Windows and shuts down fast too, which I find a nice extra 😀.
DOS games usually worked fine on ME, though I reckon it's more a software thing, making it less useful for hardcore DOS users.
ME also supports more internal memory then 98SE, but this only is of importance when using over a gig or so.
